The game Paranoid Pete is broken. The disk image craps out when you manage to allow the plant to grow. Just checked M. Browne's version on disk 15 and this one has exactly the same error. No UEF version is available. Aarrgh.

I have the game on tape if anyone would like to borrow it and attempt to create a UEF version. I could also try making a WAV of the code of course.

Having problems loading this game? The second file "PETE1" pauses for
approximately one minute before loading continues. This will result in
the start of the next sequential file "PETE2" being skipped. When this
happens, simply select "Rewind Tape" and reload from the beginning of "PETE2".

did you make a .WAV file of it? going by other thread you just done the simple:

oke this is a 1 file thing possible ?? all files can be loaded in memory the intro pete has some vdu drivers allso pete1 is basic stuff . the the rest is loaded at 1100 till 3000 ,pete3 at 3000.. 3400 , and stuff at e00 till 1100 . and file at 400 +3ff.
so all can be loaded at 1300 ( for the !boot user download and reload stuff and play it , not a real challence

I realise you like to make games run from a single file, but personally (and probably others) I'd prefer if you kept as much intact as possible to include all loading screens.
Think of the challenge as 'how would the original publisher have released this on disc?'.

he/she will put it in 1 file and call it 1pete
all the strange upload and codes are still there. i have put press any key in intro screen else it flash because disk access is faster then tape
all the org files are there at 1300 till 3e00 at 4000 there is the basic program
the only thing pete1 was converting RS434 in CASSETTE and back ?? no use with disc.

because i am not a player i can't play the game

Here is a copy of the files from uef on disc.
I have removed the *T. command from PETE.
I have added a inkey(500) delay to PETE1
I have added a download routine to the last file to download it to &E00.
Lastly, I have added the ?&11=&E8 to enable the sound.

Press SHIFT/BREAK to load.
The files are as per tape, except the last one which is extended to include the download routine.

I have been able to get to the second screen OK with this.

I have also been able to create a condensed version for my Disc 015 (due to the lack of file name space) which also works.

Yep, obscure game, probably not too many disc conversions floating around! If the OP had mentioned Weetabix game then I'd have know exactly which game this was
